Transruinaulta Trail Marathon 42.2 km
The Transruinaulta is a trail marathon that covers 42.2 km and runs from Ilanz to Thusis in the Swiss canton of Graubünden. The route starts near the young Vorderrhein with an extended singletrail through the Rheinschlucht, then climbs toward Versam, continues via the Versamertobel and Scardanal to Rhäzüns, and follows the Hinterrhein up to the Heinzenberg and the area above Präz. From the high point runners descend along singletrails on the Heinzenberg before a few short climbs near Thusis.
The course includes about 1800 meters of elevation gain. The race uses individual starts to emphasise the natural experience. Time limits are applied at intermediate controls and at the finish.
The event is run in partial autonomy; athletes are expected to be self-sufficient between aid and control stations. Mandatory basic equipment includes a mobile phone with an emergency number, a survival blanket, and a personal drinking cup. Additional weather dependent items are recommended such as a rain jacket, warm layers, gloves, spare shirt, and personal food and drink.
Categories are available by age and gender from U20 through M80/W80. The entry fee for the marathon is CHF 95 and includes a finisher prize, transport of clothing from start to finish, on-course refreshments as listed in the nutrition plan, and chip timing with a results list.
